I don't intend to repost anything that has not already been given elsewhere on this thread / site - but I will say that you get plenty of chance to practice each stage of that test before the test begins, so you will be comfortable with what is required.

I read you can apply with 500 hrs and valid TR. It doesn't stipulate the TR right?
Or am I missing something?!

I don't think the Twotter will allow ZFTT as its too small so I fear you don't qualify.
I shall dig through the ZFTT requirements.
Multi pilot turboprop with a MCTOM not less than 10 tonnes or pax seating of more than 19, not sure if the Twotter is that big?

'Piloting for Dummies' ?????
Sorry, not very helpful but it has helped me for years!!!!
(Keep an eye on the business sections, what's BA up to, what's IAG up to, who are the primary players, what direction does each branch of the company want to go in, what's affecting the market/global economy, currency ($£E etc) markets, oil prices, hostilities around the globe, terrorism, taxes, competition, Gulf regions, level playing fields, impact of Chapter 11, employment markets, local issues affecting staff/pax plus lots more other more clever people will think of)
That's just for the interview!
p.s. Top tip, if there are magazines lying around on the table.......read them.

How come no one has mentioned the email advising those who applied > 6 months (but <12 months) ago to re-apply? I mean... everyone and their pet dog received it right?
Not going to bother though as I truly believe I'm not what BA are looking for with regards their selection process (which I'm certain will have changed by this time next year). Being in a flying job I actually want to be in for the first time in my career has also helped make that decision!

Superpilot there's not much to say about it really other than that we know that they're recruiting and we know that they're having difficulty finding people so it's no surprise.
Hopefully I'll get the benefit this time around of having experienced the tests already and actually having time to prepare for them rather than just panic booking the first available slot - after having been initially told there were no slots available - leaving very little preparation time.
Here goes nothing!

Can anyone who has done the BA DEP aptitude tests before answer me a quick question or two please?
How long does the multitask/shapes/count down test last?
How many answers are you required to give over that time?
Hope you can help,
Cheers

Someone asked about reapplying at the end of my day one!! It got a chuckle after the computer tests. We were advised the maths and verbal testing results are "good" for 12 months and hence the 12 month rule for those attending day one.
